What were some of your favorite books to read when you were a child?

This was one of mine. The Foot Book may not be as widely read as The Cat in the Hat, or Green Eggs and Ham. It is a wonderfully silly read in its own right.

This week is National Children's Book Week.

Celebrate the benefits of reading to your child, or encouraging reading on their own by visiting us on the Bookmobiles or at one of our other branches.

We have a lot to choose from. Comics, board books, picture books, juvenile graphic novels and teen fiction are all available to check out as well as so much more.

Head Start of America has a great article here on the benefits of reading and children.

Does this photo of the Bookmobile on a warm spring day bring you joy?

This week is National Library Week and the theme is "Find Your Joy"

How does the Marion County Library System help you "find your joy"?

Is it on one of our Bookmobiles? Is it finding that book or comic that you can't wait to read? Is it taking home a movie for a cozy night in? Maybe a video game you can play with your friends or family?

Is it coming on board and finally getting a library card so you can access all of our wonderful online content?
